Ipod wont charge on a wall socket-will only charge a little from USB.

Dear Apple,
I have a 160gb ipod model which i bought 3 months ago.
Recently my ipod has stopped charging from a wall socket completely.I ve been using the apple wall charger for a time so i know its not its fault.Further on i have tried another third company's usb wall charger and 2 different cables.Nothing seems to work.Afterwards i tried charging it on a PC and it worked the first time but after that i leave it charging for 2-4 hours and it only shows 1/2 of the battery getting charged which will go down to 1/3,1/4th as soon as i plug it off.I ve tried resetting it multiple times but to no avail. I know that there have been other cases such as mine and i have tried researching it in the forums but with no sure solution.Please advise as to how i should proceed.Thank you in advance

Well ok news flash.I went outside to an internet cafe and put it in normally in a usb and after 2 hours it charged fully and lasted fully for the battery time.This still doesnt explain though why when i used two different cables and two different wall chargers it wouldnt charge when it used to.(P.S.: I am in an army camp thus the reason i cant rely on a PC socket being available)Thanks in advance

  • My iPod is not recognized by itunes, it will only charge. I have tried everything. NEED HELP!!

    Ok so here's what has happened. I had recently gone on holiday for several weeks, before that my 64GB iPod touch 4th Gen had been syncing fine. When I returned home and plugged it into my computer it would only charge. The autoplay pop-up asks to import pictures or use photoshop.
    I have followed the troubleshooting advice on the apple website and have had no luck. I have checked the drivers and my ipod appears under Portable Devices.
    I have the latest version of itunes as well and IOS 5.
    If someone is able to help me it would be great.

    Wow the customer service is even worse. Does Apple want me to go around jailbreaking my iPod now so I can use something that actually recognizes my product?

  • Ipad will only charge with one charger, not recognize by pc or itunes

    I have an Ipad 1. I bought a third party car charger to charge the ipad. I charged it with this charger one time. The next time I tried to charge the ipad with the original 10W wall outlet charger, it would not charge. I bought another apple ipad charger, thinking my original charger had quit working, it still would not charge. I plugged it back into the car charger and discovered that it will only charge on that particular charger. Now itunes nor my windows pc will recognize the ipad. I uninstalled itunes and installed the newest version. I also hard reset the ipad and now I have a worthless ipad that will not connect to itunes. Any suggestions?

    It's possible that charger damaged some part of the connection on the iPad. There's little metal contacts on that small silicon chip sticking out of the port and if something happens to one of those little contacts it can effect how it works.
    You can try taking it into an apple store and have them look at it. If you'd only used 'official' stuff there'd probably be no question but once they know that the damage, potential damage, was caused by a third party device, then it may be up to the discretion of the manager what they do with it. Whether they replace it under warranty or decide that the warranty is void (I honestly don't know how strict they can be with the use of third party devices and how they may/may not work)

  • Blackberry Curve 9320 - Dust in screen and will only charge on a certain angle

    I have had the phone for 4 months now and already in the first week of using it I noticed that dust had started to come into the underside of the screen. Its on the left hand side near to the charger socket and also that little hole above it. I have no idea how dust can get into the screen but my friends have exactly the same phone and don't have a problem with it? What can I do to solve the dust problem? Also when I plug in the charger into the phone it will only charge on a certain angle! What is the problem? I thought Blackberry's were meant to be reliable and trustworthy but I don't think they are at all! I am truly disappointed in this product! A phone should be reliable without any problems at all! And I have only had it 4 months! Some please help me. Thanks, Steven

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Devices designed, build, and operated by humans cannot expect to be 100% perfect. From what you describe, I'd deduce that you are simply the unlucky recipient of one of those defects -- but one defect (among millions) hardly rates something to be so negatively thought of, does it?
    Now, if you've already sought formal help from your provider/reseller, then you may have cause for distrust. But, if this is your first attempt to resolve this unlucky situation, then I recommend you not try to fix this yourself...rather, head right down to your provider and insist on warranty-level evaluation and support.
    Good luck!

  • TS2771 My iPod touch will only charge through computer, new wall charger will not charge it, but charges other iPods

    My sons iPod touch will only charge with computer. This has happened since update. Wall charger charges other iPods/iPhone. Restored to original defaults. And still does not work.

    I believe it started with the update prior to 5.1.1.  I just udated it to the 5.1.1, thinking it would resolve the problem.

  • My iPhone 4 will charge on a wall socket but WILL NOT charge on computer or even connect to the computer and show up???

    My iPhone 4 will not connect to my MacBookPro. It will not charge on my MacBookPro, but it will charge on a wall socket and it will play music in a 3rd party speaker system??
    This is extremely frustrating not only can I not back up my iPhone but I also can not update its OS etc.

    Have you tried other USB Sockets on the MBP?
    Have you tried other devices in these USB sockets?, do these work?
    Sounds like a fault on the Macbook

  • My ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. Help?

    my ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. I'm not sure what generation it is, its an 80GB. Help?

    The battery is possibly unable to take as much power as a normal battery. It may need a replacement battery.

  • Ipod 5 will only charge on laptop not by wall outlet

    A new ipod touch 5 will only charge through a laptop and wiil not charge by plugging into the wall block?

    Does the wall charger work for other devices?

  • Ipod touch will only charge in docking station after 3.0 upgrade

    Prior to my recent (this week) upgrade to 3.0, my ipod touch could charge off of my desktop computer, my laptop, and my Apple USB wall charger adapter. That adapter is not the current version, but the prior model. Since I've done the upgrade, the ipod touch no longer recognizes it's attached to the adapter (and the wall outlet) or to the USB cable and computer. I am using the Apple supplied USB cable, so it is not a matter of using non apple equipment or Firewire. This week, it will only charge using a lamp that has a docking station. I've had the ipod touch about 4 months, and didn't have this issue until the 3.0 upgrade. Does anyone else have this problem and any ideas on how to fix it?

    If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • IPod will only charge using USB

    hi, my ipod will not charge using a 110 or 12 volt charger, but will using USB - ideas? i restored and updated it.

    If you are referring to the iPod Classic, it will only charge via the dock connector USB cable, either using a PC USB port or iPod wall charger. It also has a built-in safety circuit that will trip if the charging current goes above 1A at 5V.. So most 10W iPad charger will not work on the classic, unless it has a dual output port for lower current.
    You can find these dual ports 10W iPad charger on eBay or Amazon.
    Have a nice day!

  • IPod classic will only charge from my computer

    I have an iPod Classic 80gb and it won't charge from my wall charger or my car charger it will only charge from my iMac and MacBook Pro what can I do to fix this.

    If it charges from your computer, then there is nothing wrong with your iPod charging. The problem then goes to your charger.
    just in case, try a 12w charger or use a different charger.

  • Ipod touch will only charge when I press up on the charger

    My ipod isn't recognizing the USB wire properly, and will only charge when I press it in a certain way (where the wire connects to the ipod)
    please help!

    Have you tried another cable?
    Do you have a wall charger? If so, have you used it and tried other outlets?

    Yes, I've been using it for months. And I can charge other devices with it. (my iPhone) but something weird just happened..... I kept on pluging it in the iPod and sometimes it would start to chàrge then sometimes it won't charge. Charges every time with the iPhone though.

  • My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

    My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

    Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

  • 2 x ipods 1 will play music on docking staitons x 3 the other will only charge

    I have 2 ipods in this house and 3 docking stations.  The first ipod is the 4th generation 8gb and the second is a 16gb 4th generation. 
    The 8gb ipod will charge and play music on all 3 docking stations, however, the 16gb will only charge on all of them.  I am tearing my hair out trying to figure out whether it is the ipod or not.  i have matched  the settings on both ipods so they are the same and still no music on the docking station.
    I would be really greatful if anyone can shed some light on this for me, coz im dammed if i know!!!!!!!

    Do both had the same iOS version?
    Try:
    - Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
